Fatzer AG Wire Ropes
Description
Firmly bound by tradition. The company, originally named Seilerei Fatzer, was founded in Romanshorn, Switzerland in 1836. In its early years, it mainly produced hemp rope for farming and fishing as well as for shipping in general. Tradition
Founded as a rope-making factory in 1836 in the swiss town of Romanshorn, FATZER AG Wire Ropes has been producing top-quality ropes for generations. In the early stages, hemp ropes were manufactured for agriculture, fishing and shipping, with steel wire rope production being added around 1900.
Nowadays, FATZER AG Wire Ropes specializes in the development, manufacture and global distribution of high-quality steel wire ropes for ropeways, winches, structural applications and other applications. With a long history of meeting specific market needs, fatzer is recognized as a leading rope manufacturer.
Today as part of the BRUGG Group, FATZER is still privately owned preserving the legacy of the first owner. It has developed into a strong and healthy „Mittelstand“ company with a global presence and an international workforce. In 2012, FATZER moved into a brand new, purpose-built production facility, utilising state of the art equipment. Manufacturing specialty ropes economically requires well thought-out
technical equipment. Our plant in Romanshorn is a highly productive facility for the manufacture of stranded ropes and spiral strand ropes.

The leading cableway companies and tourist destinations around the world rely on the outstanding quality of FATZER products. It is therefore not surprising that the vast majority of the world record holders among the ropeways run on steel wire ropes from the Romanshorn-based rope specialist.
